Reconsidering the dynamics of perceptionUsing cinema to explore the
visual aspects of alterity, Randall Halle analyzes how we become
cognizant of each other and how we perceive and judge another
person in a visual field. Halle draws on insights from philosophy
and recent developments in cognitive and neuroscience to argue that
there is no pure "natural" sight. We always see in a particular
way, from a particular vantage point, and through a specific
apparatus, and Halle shows how human beings have used cinema to
experiment with the apparatus of seeing for over a century. Visual
alterity goes beyond seeing difference to being conscious of how
one sees difference. Investigating the process allows us to move
from mere perception to apperception, or conscious perception.
Innovative and insightful, Visual Alterity merges film theory with
philosophy and cutting-edge science to propose new ways of
perceiving and knowing.
